    Ask The Pilot

    That would be a ICAO recommendation, 60 for single pilot ops and 65 otherwise is fairly common. In Australia while ATC has no max age, Airservices had an early retirement drive a few years back where 50+ ATC’s were eligible, now we have ATC shortages, drought and deluge continues…..

    What cheeses me off

    The braniacs at Coles who think packing two x 3L Milk bottles into one of this little paper bags for home delivery will be fit for purpose, when the delivery driver has not got a fridge and does three homes before you in 30deg heat! I wonder if the Sunny Coast council will let me keep a cow in...

    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

    I miss the Opera Suite which spread across the two top levels of the hotel, with bedroom on the top, a spiral staircase an 40m long living area on the lower floor. Was lucky to get it a couple of times as an upgrade as Accor Plat, and as SPG Plat when it was the royal suite as the Sheraton...

    Malaysia J class review

    Short sleeping times have always been a feature of BKK/KUL/SIN to Aus, no matter who you fly with, which is why I prefer day flights. If you skip dinner by eating in the lounge for red eyes there is always someone onboard who is hungry, keeping you awake with the clink of dishes and glasses. As...

    Never said they did, just that some airlines offer the option and I mentioned it can go awry! As I said just flash your card at lounge entry to get in, and if challenged why your using priority checkin, there as well.

    Indeed you have speculated the same in the past, with the context solely on HND without regard to unconfirmed future services to NRT. Qantas requested the delay due to operational requirements, aircraft and crew availability at the time was hardly fungible, as many an A330 customer has...
